  1. This is not that big of a deal. I fly Chinooks. It's a "ridgeline/pinnacle" landing adjusted for a unique landing area. The biggest concern I might have is the stability of the building. That isn't an MH either. It has a standard M-130 flare dispenser. The MHs have a shit ton of countermeasures. There are also a number of other things that distinguish an MH from a standard Chinook. And the flying only with the 160th comment is some bullshit. Sure, if you want an extremely complicated mission to be accomplished in the most dangerous conditions- they're the ones to get that shit done. To say any CH-47 pilot that's current in the aircraft can't land like that is pretty much insulting. Here's a link to some more cool pinnacle landing pictures: http://www.chinook-helicopter.com/Pinnacle_Landings/Pinnacle.html
